    It seemed not only was Apple scanning messages for malware, it was also scanning the content of each attachment and exercising some kind of rule about it. Apple wasn't merely flagging the message or sending to a spam folder, but deleting it outright.

        Another reason not to use Apple products and services. But that's why I send certain attachments compressed into a .7z file, most email virus scanners don't know to how look inside so they don't complain when you try to send an .exe to someone, I assume it could be of similar usefulness here.

          SkyDrive apparently did something similar with images. I wonder if someone from the FBI found something genuinely nasty, which scared Microsoft and Apple enough to be overly aggressive in getting rid of some files.

            Welcome to the cloud, where service providers can do whatever they please and you can do nothing, not even complain. By the way, the big brother may be watching you... :omg:

              Its always a good idea to do encryption on your files while using online services like SkyDrive. They can't scan it if it's encrypted :)

                Big brother isn't the problem. It's all the little brothers, little sisters, and all the nephews and nieces. Big brother has an extended family.

                  Careful, you're implying porn there. (How did you get all those things?) :laugh:
